Drivers in Seaford will need to find alternate routes as the Market Street drawbridge begins a lengthy construction period that will keep it closed for nearly two years.
According to the Delaware Department of Transportation, the bridge closure went into effect and will remain in place through April 9, 2026, with traffic expected to resume at 6 PM on that date.
The extended shutdown affects one of Seaford’s key transportation corridors, requiring motorists to use other crossings during the construction period. DelDOT has not yet released specific details about the nature of the construction work being performed on the drawbridge structure.
Local residents and commuters should plan for additional travel time and consider alternative routes while the infrastructure project is underway.
